charter schools
In his proposed budget,
Trump added $168 million
to charter school funding.
By Rebecca Ayers
Senior Writer
The conversation surrounding
charter schools has piqued national
attention in recent months with
the confirmation of Secretary of
Education Betsy DeVos and her sup-
port of them.
North Carolina and other states
have been faced with the challenges
that accompany charter schools and
mote school choice and schools that
werent as restricted by their states
rules and regulations so they could
educate using more experimental
ideas to better serve their students
needs.
The hope was that these innova-
tive ways to teach students could be
used for traditional public schools as
well.
To enroll in a charter school there
is typically a lottery process in which
students apply to a charter school
and then are randomly selected for
admittance.
Alyssa Schwenk, director of
external relations at the Fordham
Institute, said that the authorizer for
Tarik Woods presented
a revised edition of the
Student Code.
By Preston Lennon
Staff Writer
Student government isnt exactly
starting from scratch but the
books are being rewritten. Along
with the new constitution that
accompanied the arrival of the
Elizabeth Adkins administration,
a revised Student Code is about to
take hold as well.
Tarik Woods, chairperson of the
Rules and Judiciary Committee,
wrote the new Student Code along
with members of the present and
former undergraduate student gov-
ernments and with assistance from
the Graduate and Professional
Student Federation.
Woods presented the altered
code to the Rules and Judiciary
Committee, sparking diverse
feedback from the committee
members and at times inciting
arguments.
The majority of the changes
to the document are logistical
accommodations made to recog-
nize the split of the student body
government into undergraduate
and graduate bodies.
Other changes were enacted
in response to the unprecedented
behavior of the student body presi-
dent campaigns in the most recent
election.
Social media outlets GroupMe
and Facebook Messenger, pre-
viously used by candidates to
increase their online presence,
are now prohibited methods of
reaching out to voters en masse.
Unsolicited emails, however, are
still an acceptable form of cam-
paigning, except in certain situ-
ations where the UNC Board of
Elections disallows it.
One of the most contentious
amendments to the Student Code
was the setting of a limitation on
the number of registered workers
a presidential candidate can claim.
The number is set at 30.
Katharine Shriver, recently
sworn in as Speaker of Student
Congress, argued against the mea-
sure.

the variability of their success.
On average, students enrolled
in online charter schools lose the
equivalent of 72 days of learning in
reading and 180 days in math, based
on a traditional 180-day school year,
according to a 2015 report by the
Center for Research on Education
Outcomes amounting to nearly
half the expected learning in reading
and no learning in math.
The pattern of weaker academic
growth compared to traditional
public schools was consistent with
students of various backgrounds
and socioeconomic status. The data
was collected from over 100 schools
across the country.
Brian Gill, a senior fellow at the
Mathematica Policy Research and an
author of the report, focused on 200
online charter schools that served
200,000 students across the country.
He said that there was a mismatch
between the online programs being
offered and the students needs.
The results were very disturbing,
and we pointed that out at the time,
Gill said. Again it really looks like it
may be the case that online programs
with only a small live interaction
between students and teachers
that may work well for certain kinds
of students, particularly self-motivat-
ed students, but a lot of the students
that enroll in online charter schools
are not those students.
The first law creating a charter
a charter school has a large impact
on the schools success.
You see some authorizers who
oversee charter schools, which are
then governed by the charter school
board, allow really cool and innova-
tive ideas while also holding the
schools accountable to result in
achievement, Schwenk said.
Gill said charter schools make it
possible to try new educational prac-
tices for more effective education.
In my view we need educational
innovation, Gill said. As a society,
for 100 years or more, we havent
invested much, charter schools are in
a sense a way to do that.
Gill said that legislators should be
worried about the evidence found
within the report, and how students
were only getting three to seven
hours of live interaction with their
teachers a week online.
Ann Allen, an associate professor
of education at Ohio State University,
said there are some great charter
schools, but overall charter schools
havent made a large impact in stu-
dent accomplishments.
The charter movement, Allen
said in an email, is exclusive and has
resulted in racial segregation.
Charter schools in North Carolina
originally served a disproportionate
population of low-income, African
American students.

What do all these names
have in common? We all have
a big secret.
Well, actually, I have two.
My first is that this techni-
cally isnt my first playlist.
Last semester, I made a presi-
dential playlist for Obamas
visit to UNC, and a Get
Happy playlist of songs to
get you through finals.
But those playlists arent
reflective of what I listen to.
Then again, neither is the
music that shows up on my
Spotify. Or, not really.
Thats secret number two.
When I considered doing
an Office DJ article, I told my
co-worker my music taste was
probably too terrible for any-
one to want to listen to. Their
response was, No it isnt, you
just listen to a lot of Motown.
But about 80 percent of
time, I turn on my private
session, which is essentially
the Chrome incognito of
Spotify, to hide my awful
music choices from my seven
followers.

UNC senior wins Pitch Fest festival

Aaron Lovetts film was
about a gay couple who
supported Donald Trump.
By Marco Quiroz-Gutierrez
Staff Writer
Senior communications and
interdisciplinary studies major in
documentary studies Aaron Lovett
won first place and a $500 prize
for his film Gays for Trump? at
the RiverRun International Film
Festival in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina.
For three years, RiverRun has
hosted an event called Pitch Fest
where promising student filmmak-
ers present their film ideas to a
panel of jurors.
The film, which is also Lovetts
senior thesis, follows the story of
a gay couple Peter Boykin and
David Smith from Greensboro,
North Carolina as they campaign
for President Donald Trump.
Lovetts adviser, Julia Haslett,
assistant professor of media produc-
tion, said Lovett worked incredibly
hard to paint an accurate picture of
the subjects.
Aaron started videotaping them
at different pride events, but also
Trump rallies, various other places
and in their homes, she said. He got
more involved as he was connecting

I think it could be helpful for just

them to certain choices, he said.
Jeremy Workman, who served as
one of the jurors at Pitch Fest, said
he was extremely impressed with
the quality of Lovetts film.

Senior bar golf drives business for Chapel Hill bars

Staff Writer
Senior Bar Golf night, where
UNC seniors and their caddies visit
Chapel Hill bars and try drink spe-
cials, tees off on April 20.
UNC senior vice president Rich
Burris helped sell $5 wristbands
to participants in the Pit. Burris
said this is one of the most popular
events of the year for seniors.
We sold about 900 to 1,000 tick-
ets per day, he said. And we sold
out in about 35 minutes we were
hoping to sell them from 11 to 1.
Seniors who were unable to pur-
chase a wristband in time can still
go to the participating bars, but they
must pay a cover. Burris said the
event might sell more wristbands in
the coming days to allow as many
seniors as possible to participate.
This is definitely one of the big-
ger events we have, because we have
12 bars, and were looking to add one
or two more in the next couple days,
seniors and theres
always good turnout.
Daniel Austin
Carolina Coffee Shop manager
because there was still a line when
we were selling tickets, Burris said.
The event has been an annual tra-
dition since 2009. Participants track
the drinks theyve had at various
bars, or holes, using a scorecard.
Different drinks have different nega-
tive point values, and seniors com-
pete to have the lowest scores at the
end of the night, just like in golf.
Pantana Bobs manager Corey
Davis said the wristbands get seniors
in the door on bar golf night. This
makes the event, which lasts from 10
p.m. to 2 a.m., potentially lucrative
for the most popular bars.
Its pretty much all senior bar
golfers that night that we get our
business from. Its a huge event
for the University and the seniors,
and theres always good turnout,
said Daniel Austin, manager at the
Carolina Coffee Shop.
We usually are moving tables
because it gets so crowded, she said.
Davis said that the number of
customers at Pantana Bobs tends
to vary.
You can get that big rush of a
crowd, and thats great, that brings
in some good profits, Davis said.
And sometimes it can be like where
you only get a few people, and its
like just an extra day.
While the money from drink sales
go to the bars, wristband proceeds
stay within the student body.
All of it actually goes back into
the senior class to pay off some of
the debts from events earlier in the
year, Burris said.
He said some of expenses that
the money will cover includes senior

Trump designates week for national crime victims

Trump focused on crimes
committed by immigrants.
By Charlotte Harris
Staff Writer
President Donald Trump declared the first
full week of April to be the National Crime
Victims Rights Week.
During National Crime Victims Rights
Week, we stand with crime victims and their
families, we renew our commitment to safe-
guarding our communities from crime and
we recognize those who devote their lives to
supporting and empowering victims and sur-
vivors, Trump said in a statement released
April 3.
In the statement, Trump introduced a new
office within the Department of Homeland
Security specifically concerning assistance for
victims of crimes committed by immigrants.
The Victims Of Immigration Crime
Engagement (VOICE), within the Department
of Homeland Security, will work to serve the
victims of open borders policies which will
no longer form the basis of our immigration
system, he said. These victims will not be
ignored by the media or silenced by special
interests any longer.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper released a
statement supporting Trumps declaration of
National Crime Victims Rights Week, but the
statement did not mention immigration crime
or VOICE.
National Crime Victims Rights Week
April 2-8, 2017 provides an opportunity for
our country to recognize the Victims of Crime
Act (VOCA) as a major bedrock of support for
victim services, and to reaffirm our state and
nations commitment to addressing the needs
of victims of crimes, Cooper said in the state-
ment.
Jacob Smith, a doctoral candidate in the
UNC department of political science, said
immigration crime is an issue where Trumps
rhetoric tends to not be supported by research.
Statistics show that immigrants commit
less crime than do native-born Americans,
Smith said.
In January, Trump signed an executive
order for the Department of Homeland
Security to release weekly lists of crimes
committed by immigrants called Declined
Detainer Outcome Reports.
Oftentimes, youll see on either the
national level or the state level sort of a
pushback against this trying to withhold
funds from municipalities that have poli-
cies to protect undocumented immigrants,
Smith said.
So thats something that has happened
before but definitely has been a focus of the
Trump administration.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
often asks local law enforcement to hold a
crime suspect who may be an undocumented
immigrant for up to 48 hours to allow time for
ICE to take the accused into custody.
Statistics show that immi-
grants commit less crime than
do native-born Americans.
Jacob Smith
UNC Ph.D. candidate in political science
Local governments that do not cooper-
ate with federal ICE policies like these, such
as self-proclaimed sanctuary cities, will be
included in the DHS weekly lists.
Trumps order pressures these municipali-
ties to cooperate with federal immigration
authorities.
Smith said the impact of immigrant crime
in the United States is not as serious as Trump
is making it seem.
If you look at statistics, its not necessar-
ily as dire a situation than people perhaps
believe, he said.

Research roundup Part of a periodic update

on UNC research
Compiled by senior writers Sofia Edelman,
Acy Jackson and Aaron Redus

Receptor involved in opioid itching
Researchers in the UNC School of Medicine have
linked an orphan receptor with opioid-induced itching.
The pharmacology departments Roth Lab, which
works to find binding molecules for orphan receptors,
found the receptor MRGRPX2 is related to opioid-
induced itching. Orphan receptors are receptors whose
purpose is unknown.
Kate Lansu, a graduate student in the lab, screened
around 7,000 small molecules against MRGRPX2 to
see what a potential ligand might look like. From there,
University of California, San Francisco graduate student
Joel Karpiak used a computer model to screen 3.7 mil-
lion molecules for a match to the receptor, finding opi-
oids were a match.
Lansu said itching can be caused by a release of hista-
mines from mast cells in a process called degranulation,
which also has previously been linked to opioids. The
researchers think finding this receptor could help phar-
macologists create drugs to counteract opioid-induced
itching along with creating new medicines to increase
histamine responses to boost immunity.
Well water testing in Wake County
Frank Stillo, a researcher with the Gillings School
of Global Public Health, and Jacqueline MacDonald
Gibson, a professor in the school, tested the well water
for 57 homes in Wake County.
With 35 percent of the North Carolina population
relying on private wells, the third highest in the country,
Stillo and MacDonald Gibson wanted to test for natural
geologic formations, failed septic tanks, fertilizers, pesti-
cides and landfill seepage.
They found that 65 percent of the households tested
positive for at least one of three microbial contaminants.
About 3,800 people in Wake Countys predominantly
black neighborhoods rely on wells and septic systems.
MacDonald Gibson said this issue arises in towns that
grow around black communities.
Some of these areas are doughnut holes in the middle
of the city, MacDonald Gibson said. If theres a fire, they
have to wait for the county fire department to arrive,
even if the city fire department is closer.
The researchers are now testing for lead in water sys-
tems in Wake County. They have tested 29 homes so far.
Mental illness and the death penalty
Frank Baumgartner, a political science professor, and
Betsy Neill, a senior majoring in psychology and politi-
cal science, are working on a book, Deadly Justice: A
Statistical Portrait of the Death Penalty.
Their research suggests the criminal justice systems
use of the death penalty applies to individuals with men-
tal illness more than individuals without a mental ill-
ness. They discovered that 43 percent of people executed
between 2000 and 2015 also received a mental illness
diagnosis at some point in their lives.
Baumgartner and Neill found that between 2000 and
2015, 32.2 percent of death row volunteers inmates
who had waived appeal had attempted suicide in the
past. Their research also suggests the justice system dis-
proportionately targets criminals who experienced child-
hood abuse and trauma with the death penalty.
The United States has executed 1,448 inmates since
1976. Baumgartner and Neill said they relied on testi-
mony and source material revealed in trial or repeated in
the news to determine whether or not an inmate had a
diagnosed mental illness.

when UNC scored seven runs.

Morris, who had allowed

After that, it was a revolving
door of relievers. No one could
keep the Tar Heels off base.
This most recent offensive

even the players admit that.
But North Carolina will ride

and can use it as an example
of how much damage the
offense can do.
Its pretty apparent right
now that we are playing well,
Miller said. A lot of guys

have ups and downs.
But when we have the
downs, we are going to look
back on nights like this.

BOG
FROM PAGE 1
There are a lot of new
members, and Im excited
because I see a lot of people
from the board from universi-
ties that are not currently rep-
resented, like UNC-Pembroke
and UNC-Wilmington, she
said. Thats a really great
step forward.
Jenna Robinson, presi-
dent of the James G. Martin
Center for Academic
Renewal, said the board
shouldnt necessarily be rep-
resentative of the students in
the UNC system, but rather
North Carolina taxpayers.
Students are a part of it,
but overall, students are very
different from taxpayers, she
said. The way the board is set
up, (it) is an oversight body,
not a parliament for the uni-
versity system.
Robinson said the board
must consider the priorities of
North Carolina taxpayers and
students, rather than pass
policies that only benefit the
universities.
Universities would love
their appropriations to keep board will look to students
going up, up and up every
year, but the board, because
theyre representing not just
the university but the taxpayers
of North Carolina, have to bal-
ance those concerns with con-
cerns about costs, she said.
Finnegan said serving
students and university staff
should be a board priority.
The BOG serves students
more directly than it serves tax-
payers, she said. So we want
to be doing things that benefit
North Carolina and give tax-
payers a really great return, but
I think when we only look at it
from that way, we might only
look at our return as dollars
rather than what is best for the
university system.
Finnegan said she hopes
the new members of the
for feedback when making
policies that will affect uni-
versities.
In the short term with
these new members, what I
hope is they engage with stu-
dents, faculty and staff a lot
more, she said. Thats really
important for better informed
decision-making as a board
member.

UNC and Duke athletes join for sportsmanship week

Student-athletes from
both schools visited
Durham Academy.
By Ismail Conze
Staff Writer
Plenty of people will tell
you the UNC-Duke rivalry
is one of the greatest in all
of sports but student-
athletes from both schools
are putting aside their differ-
ences for ACC Sportsmanship
Week and teaming up with
nonprofit organization
COMPASSION IT to visit
local schools and spread its
message.
Sara Schairer, a Stanford
University-trained com-
passion teacher, founded
COMPASSION IT. This is the
organizations first time work-
ing with sports teams.
Hey, these are two rivals
that can come together and
treat each other with respect,
right? Schairer said. We
thought this is a great plat-
form ACC Sportsmanship
Week it is the perfect week
to be sharing this message of
compassion in sportsman-
ship.
Schairer usually gives talks
to schools and institutions in
San Diego, where the non-
profit was founded.
I think whats cool about
this is that, often times,
people who are attracted to
COMPASSION IT are already
into this kind of work, she
said. Theyre into mindful-
ness or yoga, but by working
with athletic teams were
reaching a whole different
audience of people.
Schairer thinks the impact
of the rivals working together
will help people realize they
do not have to hate each other
just because they support dif-
ferent teams.
We hope that this is just
the beginning of this partner-
ship between COMPASSION
IT, Duke and Carolina, she
said. Hopefully, in the fall,
we can do this again and even
do more with it.
Maggie Berra, a junior
and former UNC rower
who helped introduce
COMPASSION IT to UNC,
said when she heard about
the program she fell in love
with the idea and wanted to
help bring it to campus.
Ive been able to meet a
lot of new people doing this,
and it really opened my eyes
to what compassion truly
When it comes to
being compassionate
and respectful, were
all on the same team.
Leslie Barnes
Assistant athletic director at Duke
means, Berra said.
When Berra spoke to
a group of middle school
student-athletes at Durham
Academy, she was surprised
by the enthusiasm the stu-
dents showed toward the
nonprofit. She thought it
was cool that students were
interested in the movement
because she said the students
she went to school with
would not have taken it that
seriously.
Berra said she felt a
friendly atmosphere between
the Duke and UNC student-
athletes.
I never would have met
those people who were so
great and wonderful to work DTH FILE/SARAH DWYER
with, Berra said. North Carolina guard Joel Berry (2) lays the ball in through a Duke defender on March 4.

Federal court rules Greensboro redistricting illegal

By Rebecca Ayers
Staff Writer
A federal judge ruled the
N.C. General Assemblys
redistricting of Greensboros
City Council was unconstitu-
tional April 3.
District Court Judge
Catherine Eagles ruled
in favor of the city of
Greensboro, finding that the
redistricting was unconstitu-
tional under the one person,
one vote principle.
The principle requires all
votes to carry equal weight
and it is violated when a state
places voters into electoral
districts of materially differ-
ent population sizes for no
legitimate reason, according
to Eagles ruling.
Allison Riggs, a senior
staff attorney at the Southern
Coalition for Social Justice,
said the General Assembly
populated districts unevenly
for a Republican advantage.
(Eagles) was looking at
the facts of the case, that its
illegitimate when some peo-
ples votes carry more weight
than others, Riggs said. Its
illegitimate to do that for par-
tisan advantage.
Eagles also ruled against
a law the General Assembly
passed in 2015, which
prohibited the citizens of
Greensboro from participat-
ing in municipal initiatives or
referendums.
Greensboro was the
only municipality in North
Carolina that restricted its
citizens to seek an initiative
or referendum.
Eagles ruled against this
law on the basis that it bans
Greensboros residents
rights under the Equal
Protection Clause of the U.S.
Constitution.
Riggs said in the past six
years, the legislature has tried
to pass numerous redistrict-
ing plans that have been
invalidated in courts.
In courts, theyre not
doing a good job in comply-
ing with federal law they
need to be listening to the
courts when theyre saying,
This is not right, youre doing
it wrong. Riggs said. They
need to be more respectful of
these court rulings.
Other cases include a 2011
districting map that was
ruled to contain racial ger-
rymanders and to necessitate
special elections in the fall of
2017. After the state of North
Carolina filed an emergency
motion to stay the district
courts ruling, the Supreme
Court put a hold on the case
in January.
Jen Jones, spokesperson
for Democracy NC, said in an
email that North Carolina has
a history of legislators draw-
ing districts to intentionally
weaken the power of voters.
This latest effort to pre-
empt and undermine the will
of Greensboro voters reveals
that lawmakers will do almost
anything to retain power,
Jones said.
Emily Seawell, a staff attor-
ney at the Southern Coalition
for Social Justice, said citizens
need to hold their legislators
accountable, especially in
upcoming redistricting plans.
Its up to the people to
make sure their voices are
heard in the process and
to pressure the General
Assembly to do what is right,
she said.
Jones said its time for vot-
ers to pick their politicians
and not the other way around
in order to restore faith in
democracy.
Democracy North
Carolina has joined with a
coalition of organizations
and thousands of voters from
across the state who are call-
ing on lawmakers to call for
a public hearing regarding
redistricting reform legisla-
tion, HB 200 and SB 554,
proposed earlier this session,
Jones said.
Riggs said after six years,
North Carolina legislators
have not learned from their
mistakes when redrawing dis-
tricts, and that voters should
get more involved.
We will keep hoping that
they will learn their lesson,
but at the end of the day it
may require voters to say no
more, Riggs said.

UNC graduate captures Durham art scene
By Olivia Clark
Staff Writer
UNC graduate Holland
Gallagher is in the process of
producing a web series called
Hype to capture the rap and
startup culture of Durham.
Gallagher, who graduated
from the arts entrepreneur-
ship minor program in 2016,
said his time at UNC gave
him the confidence to move
forward in screenwriting and
to reach out to sponsors to
support his idea.
People all have different
perceptions of what happens
in the world, and not every-
body shares the same percep-
tion of events, Gallagher said.
Its about carving a new space
and making something new,
and thats definitely something
that the entrepreneurship pro-
gram is all about at UNC.
Hype follows the story
of Smiles, a young man
working to make money to
buy back his love interests
adolescent home. As the
series progresses, Smiles
finds himself co-founding
a company, surrounded by
entrepreneurial artists and
local musicians.
Gallagher said he wrote the
script to parallel the stories
of real, local artists and to

f you study English,
people ridicule your
useless major. If you
study science, people snarl
when you tell them climate
change is real.
What to do? Lets mix it up.
Once, I saw a Wake Forest
professor studying turtles at a
golf course pond. He explained
his research to two old manag-
ers who were the very picture
of Make America Hate Again
voters. But, they listened
respectfully, while every
sickening inflection of the
professors voice oozed with
condescension. What a missed
chance to render new knowl-
edge palatable with kindness.
Now, many scientists are
actually super sweet people.
But I still think it would help
if the ranks were swelled by
students like you you who
like Shakespeare and Russian
politics and have lots of imagi-
nation.
I dont mean that you tor-
ment yourself. I tried to study
physics four times and I still
dont know what momentum
and torque are. But I tried!
When I was 16, I thought
computer coding was pure
evil. I had the impression all
computer coders were greedy
losers bent on wrecking the
world. My 16-year-old self
would be aghast to know that I
code nearly every day now, and
I like it. You should try, too.
Take GIS classes and make
maps that show how landfills
and factories are clustered
near poor neighborhoods. Or
make pretty graphs with free
statistical programs like R
graphs that show how the
presidents new budget will kill
services in your community.
Or learn the exact reason why
human sewage causes all the
oysters to die in the bay, so if
anyone thumbs their nose at
clean water rules, you know
what to say.
Often, its the science-y tools
that help us advocate for the
arts and nature we care about.
Will studying science always
be a self-esteem boost? I
think not. Suppose you learn
to make graphs in R, and
become so excited you tell
a peer. Its likely theyll say:
Like, yeah, Python is, like,
way more powerful than R.
On the other hand, if you only
study humanities, you might
end up twisted into contortions
like the people at PlayMakers
theyre all, OMG, were so
enlightened! and OMG! We
push the conversation! and
OMG! The first ever play we
put on about Muslim Americans
portrayed only violent Muslims
and OMG! We have so much
common sense!
We are all upset at believers
in alternative facts, and we
want science to show the way.
But if its just science-minded
people in charge, then maybe
the pendulum swings too far in
the other direction, into a land
thats too dry and unappetizing
to convince and inspire.
I dont want a world gov-
erned by great facts, practicality
and logic alone. Nor do I want
one governed by lies. I want the
facts to be softened by the rarer,
more delicate goods of beauty
and togetherness, great feeling
and great compassion.
We can only do that if all of
you in the humanities join in.
Try the sciences as much as
you dare, so we can make the
world safer for whats impor-
tant.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Take steps to protect
your internet privacy
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to a piece
published Thursday on
Congresss change in inter-
net privacy regulation by
Paige Colpo, I want to
emphasize that this action
is absolutely against the
interest of the public.
Looking at donations to
members of Congress from
Internet Service Providers
(ISPs), it is clear that politi-
cal support for this change
came solely from special
interest influence. Not only
do these changes allow ISPs
to infringe on the privacy
of internet users, but it
also compounds with the
problem of low competition
that already exists in the
industry.
In reducing privacy
regulations, Congress has
forfeited the governments
role in protecting the
rights of the people in an
industry where the market
fails to do so. Thanks to
the high barriers to entry,
ISPs operate with little to
no competition nationwide
meaning that normal free
market functions do not
always apply. In most cases,
internet users do not have
the ability to change ISPs
resulting in high prices and
notoriously poor service
throughout the industry.
Without competition,
ISPs are free to capitalize
on selling user data even
if it is against the wishes
of consumers. The public
relies on Congress to pro-
tect its interest in situations
like this, and Congress has
failed to do so. Luckily,
tools exist to protect your
own internet privacy, and
I encourage people who
are concerned to research

Bo time? More like
antibiotics time
TO THE EDITOR:
Bo time is a good time.
However, it could be bet-
ter if this well-known com-
pany would fully commit to
taking all routine antibiot-
ics out of their products.
The problem lies in the fact
that these antibiotics are
meant for use on humans,
and yet 80 percent of all of
them that are sold in U.S.
are used on animals that
arent even sick. This situa-
tion is increasing medicinal
resistance within bacteria
to the point that our mod-
ern antibiotics are quickly
becoming obsolete.
Im not saying that
farms should not use any
medication, as we have
animal antibiotics for a
reason. However, the use
of human antibiotics in
these factories is a primary
source of the alarmingly
rapid increase in bacte-
rial resistance that we are

Whats a better way to
combat extremism?
TO THE EDITOR:
While Dr. Anna Bigelow
offers important critiques
of the Countering Violent
Extremism program, I
would love to hear a better
strategy for addressing the
problems the UNC grant is
meant to address.
We have had several
incidents in recent years of
individuals consuming pro-
paganda put forth by jihad-
ist terrorist organizations
and subsequently engaging
in attacks not only in the
U.S. or Europe, but Muslim
majority countries as well.
If you do not believe this
propaganda exists, down-
load a copy of the Islamic
States Dabiq magazine or
see if you can find the vid-
eos viewed by the attackers
in San Bernardino. This
Jihadist propaganda exists,
and much of it puts forth a
narrative aimed at people
living in the West.
Admittedly, the number
of people who will find this
propaganda convincing
may number fewer than
adherents of the flat earth
theory or the inside job
9/11 conspiracy. But the
consequences of jihadist
propagandas success are
sufficiently traumatic to, in
addition to a modest death
toll, get plastered across our
media with an uncomfort-
able frequency and occupy
our political discourse.
Challenging extremist
narratives is simply some-
thing we must attempt,
from every angle.
While Dr. Dauber and
Dr. Robinson should con-
sider the concerns raised
by the community, ACLU
and their peers in order to
make their program more
effective and less offensive,
we can not forget that the
underlying cause is one we
should all support.

people and money is NOT
